htaccess rule for favicon.ico in subdirectory
Posted on 2009-04-08
Hello,
I'm looking for an htaccess rule for adding unique favicons to a subdirectory. I have many subdirectories on a primary domain name:
www.domain.com/this1
www.domain.com/this2
www.domain.com/this3
www.domain.com/this4
etc..
I would like each subdirectory (recursively) to have it's own favicon without editing the HTML.
ie:
www.domain.com/this1 // gets the favicon: /icons/this1.ico
www.domain.com/this2 // gets the favicon: /icons/this2.ico
www.domain.com/this3 // gets the favicon: /icons/this3.ico
www.domain.com/this4 // gets the favicon: /icons/this4.ico
I'm not good with htaccess rules, but I'm pretty sure this is possible. Thanks for any help!

Do you use cookies to store the state if someone requests a subdir or not? Otherwise, since http is a stateless protocol, how would you know if a client requests /favicon.ico that there was a previous request for /this1/?
Sorry for the late reply.
I don't think I make myself clear. I'm looking for this (no idea how to code htaccess) on REHL/Apache:
Thanks!!

domain.com/this1/.htaccess // subdir .htaccess
// Contents
rewrite URL if it's domain.com/favicon.ico
change to domain.com/this1/favicon.ico
// this1 is static, that's fine. this1 also contains hundreds of pages I don't want to add meta tags with favicon info to
domain.com/.htaccess // root dir htaccess
// contents
(blank, just grab default favicon)
Again, HTTP is a stateless protocol, your concept can't work. The request of the html page and its embedded resources or other resources such as a favicon are different, completely separate requests.
BTW: domain.com/this1/.htaccess
BTW: domain.com/this1/.htaccess
